"Classics Under the Stars" moves after 17 years on the Göttweig Mountain to Grafenegg. The open-air event on July 4, 2026, will be accompanied for the first time by the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria.

Since the gala concert was sold out within a few days, Elīna Garanča invites to the "Garanča PreviewNight" the day before. Stift Göttweig has been "a special place of strength" for her for many years, and now she looks forward "to the new chapter in Grafenegg," Garanča said during a press conference on Friday.

Change is a "conscious step" to further develop "Classics Under the Stars"

The change is a "conscious step" to further develop "Classics Under the Stars" in the long term and elevate it to a new, sustainable stage, it was emphasized in a press release. A best-of program will be offered in the Wolkenturm with the most beautiful arias, duets, and ensembles from one and a half decades of artistic collaboration - curated by Elīna Garanča and her husband Karel Mark Chichon, who will continue to take on the musical direction. As a highlight, the "Cultural Picnic with Elīna Garanča's Future Voices" with free admission, which focuses on young talents, was announced. The "Elīna Garanča Experience World" guides visitors through the castle park and sets the mood for the concert experience with a documentary.
